the first question when it comes to TheScience(tm): Who paid for it and who profits?

Damn, now I can't trust those studies "proving" that red wine is good for you.

Drink 3 glasses, and you'll be able to trust again :)

Lol. Truth though. I frankly think it's healthy from a stress level perspective, not even what is in wine (aside from alcohol). Alcohol is bad, but stress I'd argue is even worse mentally and physically to the body. Unwinding at the end of the day is healthy.

Also, every wealthy person I know drinks. Not one abstains 100%. Most all drink daily. Even the devout religious people I know. Even the one or two hardcore alcoholics I know that have "quit" still drink, they just lie about it. Key is managing consumption and not letting it take control of your life. Same with anything you consume. I could take 200MG of gummies right now and basically trip for the next 10 hours. That would be stupid.

That's why I plan my heavy drinking days around vacation or trips and generally only have 1-3 beers a night when not on vacation. That's my splurge time so to speak with alcohol. Key is to keep it chill, especially if you're an angry drinker. At an AI or beach vacation I'll easily down 10-20 drinks (beer) in a day. I space it out, don't do shots and I'm good till 1-2am and don't act like an ass.

Also, fact is anyone with an alcohol addiction knows it. Don't trust a person that says they don't have a problem with alcohol if they won't admit it, yet you see it. They're too far down the rabbit hole and will lie about everything else in their lives. I've witnessed it. A couple glasses of wine is no biggie in my world. I know you're retired Patrick, but if it helps calm you down at the end of the day or whatever, it's probably better than whatever big Pharma is going to pump into you if you have stress or anxiety.

Unless I get cancer or something I won't take a fucking pill until needed to keep me alive. Something in my shoulder is likely torn right now, I won't take a thing for pain. We have the ability to cover up problems and they just get worse because of pain killers. Next thing you know you're dead because your gut pain was from something that could have been treated but was covered up from pain meds. OTC pain meds and prescribed meds are the devil.

i won’t forget how most americans lost their spines when cancel culture weapon hit.

how schools, still going today, push gay shit onto kids. and most parents can’t take any action beyond saying “its inappropriate”.

america is fucked right now by leftism

Horribly!

They are trying to shame audiences into paying for their stupid shit by saying that it's being boycott due to a gay kiss. It's just a shitty film, that has a gay kiss in it.

I think, at this point, and for the purpose of destroying the industry, everybody should be demanding more GHEEEEEEEY in CHILDREN'S films. People should demand more people in ball gags, and assless chaps, there are no trannies in feature length children's cartoons, we need that! And what about the poor furries? I mean, 1/2 of them were created by Disney, where's THEIR representation?

It needs to be MOAR GHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY.

It's been many years where adults have been complaining about this shit, over a decade and they decided to instead to enact "a not so secret gay agenda" - fine - encourage them to the guillotine of bankruptcy. I say push them to make more of this junk because they will anyhow. They're not going to stop, so accelerate their destruction.

I'll make a recommendation for everybody:

Shop at a small local shop. There's a ton of Indian places around me, their produce is cheaper, I do like beans and those are super cheap - rice is superior to anything you can buy at an American supermarket (but it MUST be washed, Indian rice is not clean, you have to rinse it in a colander or sieve) their produce isn't year round, but it's cheaper and it's often local.

If you have to buy something out of a BOX, CAN, or BOTTLE, then Safeway is fine, but if you want to buy food, go to a local grocery.

When I see Indians at Safeway I'm always tempted to ask them what the hell they are doing there. I'm there to buy beer. They're buying Indian spices and cans of food. I'd NEVER buy Indian anything (or Mexican) at Safeway. Inferior quality and higher prices, because nobody in their right mind buys that sort of food from Safeway.

Most Americans are afraid to go to those markets because they tend to be in "edgier" feeling neighborhoods. I love them. Had some great ones on the SW side of Chicago that I'd frequent (Mexican). Authentic Mexican is the bomb. Pissed my kids won't eat it, so we rarely get to those markets or restaurants in our area. Lots of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans in the Chicago region. Puerto Rican food is awesome too.

Definitely less processed foods at those places. Now I'm hungry.... Pool party tomorrow. Might hit up the Mexican market near me and make some tacos or something. Neighbor had a graduation party and they had a Mexican taco truck that was actually pretty good.

Best BBQ you can get state side is in the ghetto. You legit do have to worry about a stray bullet though in most those locations. South side of Chicago has some top notch BBQ. Hole in the wall type places with plexiglass at the counter. We have a great place in town for BBQ, but they SUCK at staffing the place. Food is good, orders are wrong 90% of the time.

You get the best damned food at a restaurant in a dodgy area. This is because the place doesn't survive on the atmosphere and quality of the dining experience, they survive because their food is so goddamned good.

True of supermarkets as well.

You're at a money laundering front when the product is crap and you're in a dodgy area.

Simply put, if the people who orchestrated the disgraceful COVID theater of the last 3 years aren't shamed and chased from public office, no lesson will be learned, and the public will continue to get more of the same. We owe ourselves, our children, and the world a better future than that.

The earliest reported infection, discovered in a preserved nasopharyngeal sample of a 4 year-old boy, happened before 21 November 2019 – in Milan (MI). By November at the latest, we can be confident that the virus was circulating in Milan. By the time of this map, though, the hot spots all appear to be in a roughly equidistant ring around Milan. By the end of February, the only places the virus is still accelerating, is in the still further outlying regions – places like Como, Mantova and Sondrio. It looks for all the world like the virus had burned through Milan without anybody noticing at all, and when the Tomas Pueyos of the world descended upon us with their mass testing and their lockdowns, they were a few months too late. The hotspots they found were secondary infection sites at best.

By the time pandemicists started rooting through their bag of tricks, the virus had been circulating for months with nobody noticing.

No one would even have noticed the "pandemic" if there were not money to be made and power to be grabbed.

Is humanity waking up yet?

... But these civilizational alarms can’t be selected or shut off. Only the snooze button gets pressed by a snoozing population, awaiting the next alarms. The mechanistic droning sounds grind into the frequencies of the natural order, screaming that all is not well. The already wakened vigorously shake the comatose, still trapped in the matrix.

The digital honking gets triggered every time a report of sudden death or new case of child maiming leaks past the official censors, and a big pharma executive gets his wings, along with a new Boston brownstone and Porsche Panamera with forward collision warning and lane-keeping assist to make sure his children are never maimed.

A mother takes her daughter to the cardiologist where she is one of the many unlucky children under 17 in the United States to be diagnosed with myocarditis. Their private school requires proof of “vaccination” for continued attendance, and now she has the privilege of attending with heart medication in her pocket.

A Canadian father reads a few words to a gathering of family and friends at his teenage son’s wake. After a year of lockdown and social isolation his son wanted to join the local hockey league and play again. They required proof of “vaccination” to play hockey.

These stories of maiming and slaughtering children that make it past the official censors are heartbreaking. Sacrificing children to Big Pharma so they can be legally immunized against any culpability for maiming and killing millions has to be the last straw for humanity.




... Not all doctors took the loot. A few with integrity and courage told the truth and continue to awaken the misinformed masses. They get labeled as “conspiracy theorists” and “anti-vaxxers”, even if it includes the most published cardiologist alive.



... The doctors and “experts” and government criminals would have achieved nothing without the dedicated help of the corporate media machine. They are as responsible for the fast and slow deaths of millions. Plausible deniability will not suffice as an alibi, in the absence of a modicum of curiosity and rudimentary investigation. Their dedicated suppression of the truth, pushing of blatant lies and propaganda, and omission of facts make them as culpable as any health bureaucrat or psycho oligarch.

... But who really wants to acknowledge they made a grave error in judgment that risked their lives and the lives of their children? The guilt and regret of facing such a reality must be worse than death. Surely big pharma has a pill for such pain.

Their arrogance and hubris prevent them from seeing beyond the pile of skulls they have assembled because on the distant horizon the forces of retribution are gathering beneath the storm clouds of revenge. Humanity is slowly awakening, and soon will not be content with hitting the snooze button once again.

All those broken hearts will need mending, and left with few alternatives more desirable, they will summon the new conquistadors of The Great Awakening to square up against the psychopathic social engineers responsible for the Malthusian sacrificial suffering underway. And they will stand before them in judgment, glare into their dead eyes and tell them without hesitation or mercy…

“We hope that you enjoyed the show, but it’s time to go. We are here to do to you what you have done to us for decades: Pilfer your gold, and slaughter every last one of you.”

Weeks?

Semesters.

Patrick says

Weeks?

Semesters.

Ya, was definitely longer than weeks! More like 1-1.5yrs

I agree with all the original post points.

But to be fair, if you were in the right industry and you were investing, many saw their best financial years of their life (while others had their worst)

I know some people in tech whose net worth doubled during the pandemic.

Additionally, I got to see more of my young kids than I would ever have if life just continued as normal from March 2020.

Some great things happened as well for many people. Of course I recognize that others had their lives severely impacted the other way.

The book is still being written and the narrative and beneficiaries can flip at anytime.

I will never forgive the doctors, unelected bureaucrats, school boards, and politicians. Nor will I forgive the Karens and the maskholes.

I will forgive my brother and his family if they admit that they were wrong, so it's up to them, not me. Then again, that happening is as good as a snowflake's chance in hell.

I think we missed two semesters in person. It was kind of nice for us as we still traveled and well remote learning can be remote. So we traveled a lot. We did parent teacher conferences on St. John one of the years. Teachers were jealous AF. It was also cheap AF. Don't think we'll see rates on resorts and flights like that again. $2,200 for a 2 bed, 2 bath at the Westin on St. John. Fuck me, good luck getting anything close to that rate now. Probably 5k now. We went in prime season too.

How they shut down churches but kept abortion clinics and weed stores open.

Too lazy to read if I commented about this.

In IL they did shut down recreational for a while and only medical. Which I'm okay with. When they reopened recreational is was all the social distancing stickers on the ground and shit. What a complete waste of time. As advance as we are it will go down as a top 10 moronic time in human history. May top 3 and I'm including wars.

Abortion and religion don't really move me either way. I get that point and I think abortion is bad, but I'd have 3-4 more kids without it.... put it that way. And not MY wife, my SIL who can't care for even one and had 3 abortions. Early term, not that that's better.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/08/wayne-root-blame-covid-vaccine-disaster-coverup-hint-not-president-donald-j-trump/

Here is who is to blame…

Dr. Fauci gets 100% of the blame. He knew. He conned the nation, long after he knew the vaccine didn’t work…long after he saw the CDC-compiled VAERS list of deaths and injuries from the vaccine piling up…long after he saw the vaccine trial evidence that volunteers in the trial died…volunteers were injured…volunteers were crippled…volunteers were disabled…and pregnant mothers lost their babies at an alarming rate. Yet Fauci covered it all up. Worse, he encouraged more Americans to get the vaccine, knowing the terrible side effects of this tragic experiment gone bad.

The CDC and WHO get 100% of the blame. They knew everything Dr. Fauci knew. Yet they pushed the vaccines. And then later, after everyone with a brain saw the death toll, they recommended these death shots for children. These organizations are guilty of mass murder on a scale not seen since WWII.

Biden and the Biden administration get 100% of the blame. They certainly knew about the rising death and injury numbers by March of 2021 when Biden gave the orders to OSHA to mandate the jabs at every large corporation in America. They condemned millions of American employees to risk death or terrible injury.

Advertisement - story continues below

The media is 100% to blame. They are the PR wing of the Democrat Party. They covered up this entire massive tragedy. This is the biggest healthcare debacle in world history. And the media has covered it all up, blacked it out, whitewashed it. Oops.

The whole mainstream media sold out- even Fox News and Newsmax. I’m guessing the biggest conservative talk radio syndicators sold out too. They all took millions to shut up. They agreed no host, or guest could tell the truth about vaccine deaths or injuries. They took blood money. They sold out all of YOU – their own customers.

Doctors across America are 100% to blame. They knew. They saw their patients dying. But they were too greedy, or scared of losing their license to speak out. The doctors played dumb. They were sheep. They accepted the lies of the CDC, WHO, FDA and AMA without asking any questions. They call that “science.”

And of course, Big Pharma and the vaccine manufacturers are 100% to blame. They knew from day one. They saw the vaccine trial results. They buried the tragic and deadly results. They demanded complete 100% immunity from lawsuits. Then they demanded the vaccine trial results be kept secret for 75 years. Now we understand why.

And then there’s President Trump. The man Democrats want to stop at all costs. The frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election. The man they’ve tried to destroy since the day he announced for president. The man they illegally spied on. The man they’ve tried to frame so many times I’ve lost count. And now they want to frame him for the Covid vaccine gone wrong.

It won’t work. Trump was the CEO of America. He’s not a doctor, scientist, or medical expert. He was lied to by Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, the CDC, FDA and a bunch of evil, greedy Big Pharma executives. Trump was defrauded just like the rest of us.

Trump does deserve blame for every day he delays in telling the truth about the murderous vaxx.

He should have told the truth about it as soon as it was clear to everyone, but he somehow still thinks he deserves "credit" for directing the production of that mass murder weapon used against Americans and the reset of the world for the profit of Pfizer.

https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/the-wild-west/

It remains for Mr. Trump to renounce his support for the evil fruits of the Warp Speed operation he presided over. He must face the fact that he was played, and he may be forgiven, considering all the evidence coming recently from the likes of Deborah Birx and others that he was lied to and manipulated. But he doesn’t have much more time to get it right, or else his political career will be over well before the 2024 election. That may be all for the better. America probably needs a clean sweep of our desecrated political landscape. All in all, Mr. Trump was a good soldier, brave and resolute under tremendous adversity, but he’s not the only one who can lead our country back to itself.

Historical useful idiots, always get their comeuppance.

https://kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/joe-bidens-last-stand/

The “Joe Biden” regime has already done enough to hurtle the USA and the rest of Western Civ into a new dark age. The nations of the EU have no idea how they will conduct economic activity without the cheap Russian natgas they used to depend on. They are about to get a harsh lesson on the realistic limits of “green energy” they’ve been prattling about for years. So far, it doesn’t look good for them. A few more months of this and the populace from Riga to Lisbon will be stringing up whole parliaments from the boulevard light standards.

Even if “Joe Biden” doesn’t go for the ashtray option, consider the $350-trillion in leveraged financial derivatives orbiting high above the scene like a numberless fleet of death stars primed to blow at the next interest rate uptick. The Euroland stock markets are already tanking hard as I write at 8:30 EDT today. US futures indicate a week-ending bloodbath on Wall Street. This is nature’s way of registering its no-confidence vote in “Joe Biden’s” management of our affairs. All this is on top of the sucking chest wound that Washington DC has become — the necrotic corruption of every agency, the gathering “vaccine” holocaust, the indecent firehose of lies from high places, the Gestapo sleaze of the DOJ/FBI nexus, and the astounding new twists in officially-promoted sexual degeneracy revealed in our schools and hospitals.

Not to put too fine a point on it: the shit has already hit the fan. We are where we were going. If you truly believe those 2020 national election results, then this is what you voted for, America. Feeling any buyer’s remorse yet? Got the feeling that something must be done? Okay then, what?
